Engadget's 3rd Birthday Giveaway - Day 1

Hard to believe it's already been three years since the launch of Engadget, isn't it? We're celebrating our third birthday this month (Saturday the 3rd to be exact) and so to say thanks for being so awesome to us we're having three days of sweet giveaways. We're kicking things off today with a bunch of nice prizes:

• Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX + Copy of Lego Star Wars II + Xbox 360 for Windows Controller
• SanDisk Sansa e280R
• Netgear WGR101 Wireless Travel Router
• Samsung A920 (Sprint)
• v-moda bass-freq headphones

Here's what you have to do to win:

Make a post in the comments below with links to your favorite Engadget posts from each of the past three years (i.e. post your fave link from 2004, your fave from 2005, and your fave from 2006). Make sure you have one post from each year, as well as why it's your favorite post of that year, otherwise we have to disqualify your entry. It's a little tougher if you haven't been reading the site since 2004, but you gotta give something back to the old school, right? We'll pick five winners at random from among all qualifying entries.


A few rules (yeah, there are always rules):

• You may only enter this specific contest once. If you enter this contest more than once you'll be automatically disqualified and barred from all future giveaways. (Yes, we have robots that thoroughly check to ensure fairness.) You may enter our other Birthday contests, but you can't win more than once; if you happen to win more than once (which is pretty unlikely, but still) we'll ask you to choose just one of your prizes.
  
• You can only win once.
• This contest is open to anyone anywhere.
  
• Contest is open until 11:59pm EST on Sunday, March 4th.

Thanks and good luck to everyone. Stay tuned for our next two giveaways!

http://www.engadget.com/2004/06/09/turn-your-pc-into-a-mac/
I used to be really into skinning my PC like a MAC... I referred to this article many times throughout the years.

2005:
http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/22/engadget-1985/
It reminds me of Back to the Future... and what luxuries we enjoy today!

2006:
http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/27/nintendo-wii-the-revolution-gets-a-real-name/
It took me quite some time to get over the rediculous name. This article just kept haunting me.

Happy Birthday Engadget! :D

2006: Nintendo Revolution gets real name: http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/27/nintendo-wii-the-revolution-gets-a-real-name/ - I was actually surprised about Nintendo made that decision... As well as the speed Engadget reported it.
2005: the 2004 Engadget Reward! http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/03/the-winners-of-the-2004-engadget-awards/ - 2004 was a very interesting year for gadgets, especially the way Engadget rewarded it ;)
2004: Intel releases 64-bit Xeon, http://www.engadget.com/2004/07/01/intel-releases-64-bit-xeon-processor-holds-breath/ - Intel's high end 64-bit debut, surprising!

http://www.engadget.com/2004/08/31/indian-wireless-carrier-will-harrass-your-friends-if-youre-a/

2005
http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/08/how-to-the-magic-phone-part-1-number-pad-matrix-decoding/

2006
http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/india-announces-plans-to-develop-robot-army/

prolly one of the biggest load of BS type news things i have heard...haha we cant even have gps systems in our cars in india cos there's no road mapping logic there and they want to build robot army's.

[Giltronic @ Mar 1st 2007 12:16PM]

This post said the PS3 might come out in March 2005...yeah right, thats why I like it.

2005: http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/22/playstation-3-for-spring-2006-launch/
This is like the last one, except this speculates on a Spring 2006 release, once again yeah right.

2006: http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/sonys-playstation-3-review-roundup/
Finally the PS3 comes out...what I had been waiting for.

2004: www.engadget.com/2004/10/08/psp-back-to-2004-launch-were-not-holding-our-breath
I remember going crazy for a PSP back then.

2005: www.engadget.com/2005/09/11/xbox-360-the-most-hack-proof-console-ever/
I was a sad panda when I heard the news that the xbox 360 wasn't going to be hackable. That is one of the most fun aspect of the original xbox.

2006: www.engadget.com/2006/12/06/breaking-james-kim-may-have-been-found/
No other Engadget article hit me harder than the day they found James body. I will never forget that whole week where we all are just pulling for him and his family to make it through. R.I.P James.

[Kieran Coghlan @ Mar 1st 2007 12:19PM]

Matt, you need to say WHY they are your fav's...

2004:
http://www.engadget.com/2004/06/24/presidential-candidate-ringtones/
WHY: election ring tones! Come ON, does it really need an explanation??? Actually, I thought this idea was LAME and that anyone who downloaded and used them was SAD... but the post did make me laugh! (and I remembered it as a 2004 post)

2005:
http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/15/giant-spiderbot-not-your-average-john-deere-offering/
WHY: It's a friggin forest spiderbot!!! I was taken back to scenes of Endor and AT-ST walkers!!! Really, that thing just stuck in my head... Didn't even know WHAT year it was, but it counts for 2005.

2006:
http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/13/the-darpa-pikes-peak-robot-hill-climb/
WHY: More robots!! (I'm a fan.) Plus the DARPA competitions are too cool.

and could it be that I'm the first here???

Anyhow, you guys are the best, and engadget rule!

[Chris Simmons @ Mar 1st 2007 12:23PM]

2005: http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/29/beer-mat-radios-for-help-when-empty/
It's kind of like the low-fuel light in your car... only completely different.

2006: http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/20/miller-to-introduce-self-cooling-beer-cans-next-year/

Remember how fantastic it looked? The wonderment we all felt? ...Of course, then it released and the only games were (and still are) crappy ps2 ports and the disc drive was loud and annoying, but I still remember the excitement of a 5 year old in the weeks leading up to the release.

2005: http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/31/eight-foot-nes-controller/
Tell me how anything could ever be cooler than an eight foot NES controller. Unless of course it's a ten foot NES controller...

You have to love the stackup of the three consoles and the fact that after years of waiting for the next gen consoles, they range from good, to ok, to just plain bad. I'll let you be the judge of what title fits which console. :-)

This was one of my first articles reading about the iPhone seeing as I am neither a fan of Apple of Cellular products. However this intriqued me enough to follow the story leading up to Job's announcement at the last "little-get-together" he threw.

Seeing as I am a M$Fanboy this was yet another confirmation as to why I loved this company. You have to love Ballmer and his "phrases" as well as the announcement for the 360.

And there you have it, three years in review! Congrats on 3 Years & Keep'em Coming!
